Hello, I use EAP-TLS to authenticate the computers on my wlan. As the supplicants run on Windows XP, I had to store the certificates in the 'local computer' and 'user account' stores and create the register key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EAPOL\Parameters\General\Global\AuthMode with the value '1' (dword). You may ask me why. The reason is simple. Certificates stored in 'local computer' are used at boot time and certiticates store in 'user account' and used at login time. The value of the register key tells Windows to authenticate at boot time and after login time. So, if the WIFI card is removed and inserted, the authentication works fine. :) My question deals with the username sent by the supplicant when the authentication goes on. At boot time, the username sent is : host/user_name. After the login, the username sent is : user_name. So, I have to create 2 users. I want to cut 'host/' to make this task easier. It is possible ? How do I do this ?
